ABSTRACT:
An anti-earthquake structure insulating the kinetic energy of earthquake from buildings, which is constructed between a building and the construction site thereof, including a plurality of supporting layers having multiple ball seats, plural ball members correspondingly disposed on and pressed between said ball seats with extremely small rolling friction thereagainst, and a plurality of sliding block linkages disposed between the building and the supporting layers, whereby horizontal displacement of the construction site can apply no horizontal force to the supporting layers, and consequently, the building will remain stable and rigid, the sliding block linkages further converting vertical wobbling force into horizontal force, permitting the horizontal force to be absorbed by multiple buffer springs via lever devices.
